As an Ohio State fan, I can tell you there is absolutely no way whatsoever that Dawand Jones falls to day 3. I don't like his footspeed for this offense but teams like the Steelers, Ravens, Titans, etc are going to love that kid. He's nearly impossible to get around. He struggles with pure speed to the top of the arc (not a positive with Patrick Mahomes) and he struggles when those same types of speed rushers set him up and cross his face. I think you can coach that latter part up some. He might even be looked at as a LT in the same mold as Orlando by the teams I listed. He is absolutely going high 2nd if not the 1st round.
As for Derick Hall, I don't think he has the learning curve you suggest. He's pretty good at using his hands to get into the chest of the defender and playing off of that. He has some work to do with his hands overall but I see him as no less refined than Karlaftis was coming in.
